    Solid handheld design crippled by weak processor

    I’m not really sure what Lenovo or AMD, for that matter, were thinking with this processor design. Think netbook / Intel Atom era performance making a comeback in 2025. Many games released within the two years are mostly unplayable, even on the lowest graphical settings. The handheld design, screen, 32gb RAM and 1TB SSD are otherwise wasted because of the anemic processor. Had this launched with the Z1 Extreme processor, I have no doubt it would be one of the top selling handhelds for 2025. Unless you play older games, don’t bother with this one.

    Bought it on sale for $499. Installed SteamOS and it changed everything. Runs about 10fps better than the steam deck but in 1200p rather than 800p. The addition of lossless scaling to Linux is also a game changer, doubling FPS

    I’ve enjoyed ever moment with it. I’ve been using it to get through my back log and it has yet to disappoint. But keep in mind if you are wanting to play more recent triple a games this is not the machine for you and the version with the Z1 extreme is probably a better fit.

  • Doesn't stand out against the Steam Deck

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The idea of this device is exciting, if only because you can install SteamOS on it and have a (better?) Steam Deck. In reality, it's not really better, though. You end up with a Steam Deck, but slightly worse build quality, some RGBs, and a higher price. The extra RAM does nothing for performance. If you actually want a "better" Steam Deck, just buy a Steam Deck OLED.

      Hello LutherF,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that you ran into an issue. We strive to provide the best experience possible. We're disappointed and apologize that this wasn't the case for you, and we'd like to work with you to try to improve your experience.

      First, we'd like to clarify that we offer two versions of the Legion Go S, running WindowsOS and SteamOS. While you can install another OS on this configuration of the Legion Go S, if you want to maximize performance, settings will need to be configured to support this since you're changing the system's OS from what it was intended to ship with.

      If you run into any issues, each Legion Go ships with Legion Ultimate Support, 1-year for free. They can be contacted at this number: 888-278-9707, Press 1 for gaming. They should be able to tackle any problems that you may have swiftly.

      Please don't hesitate to let us know what else we can do to improve your experience, as your satisfaction is important to us.

      Best regards,
      Lenovo Lenovo

    Had the 1st gen and thougt this would be better ergonomically. The battery is marginally better than the 1st gen but the screen is washed out in comparison and not a fan of high the triggers are to reach. Fingers were getting cramps from playing FPS for less than 20mins. Know the performance wasn’t high. Not sure but the AMD adrenaline doesn’t seem to on this machine. I’ve seen reviews with the same menu as my 1st gen but nothing comes up in Windows search for AMD or adrenaline. Crurrenlty reseting my device to return it tomorrow. This is garbage and maybe the reaon why Lenovo website wouldn’t take preorders??

    Regret Buying Early, Feels Like a Ripoff

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased the Lenovo Legion Go S in February for $729. Just a month later, the price dropped to $599—and it's stayed that way since. Then in April, Lenovo announced a new version with the exact same design but upgraded to the Z1 Extreme chip. Best Buy listed that one for $759, and now in May it’s up to $899. Meanwhile, I’m stuck outside the return window with a weaker Z2 GO processor that no one wants to buy. It feels like I paid a premium to be a beta tester for a product that was outdated before it even settled in. No trade-in program, no loyalty credit, no heads-up. Just silence. If you’re thinking of buying Lenovo handhelds at launch—don’t. Wait a month or two, because they’ll likely undercut you, release something better, and leave you holding the bag.
